Ashera

Sikerült kinyomoztatni, mi fán terem. Íme:

The Hebrew word is 'ashe‧rah′ (pl., 'ashe‧rim′) refers to either a sacred pole of Asherah, a Canaanite goddess of fertility (Judges 6:25, 26) or the goddess Asherah herself. (2 Kings 13:6) It isn't always easy to tell which one is being referred to. The pole or the goddess. Some translations try to distinguish between the two depending upon the context and some just transliterate the word. Older translation usually render it as "grove(s)" which can be misleading in texts such as Judges 3:7 and 2 Kings 23:6 that refer to serving "groves" and removing the "grove" from the temple at Jerusalem.

The Ras Shamra texts identify Asherah the goddess as the wife of the pagan god El and mother of Baal; the "Creator of Creatures," "Lady Asherah of the Sea" and "Progenitress of the Gods." Biblical and extra-Biblical sources indicate an overlapping in the three prominent goddesses of Baalism - Anath, Asherah, and Ashtoreth.


Azaz az Ashera egy Ashera nevű babilóniai istenségnek állított oszlop. Ami viszont arra enged kvetkeztetni, hogy mindent amiben megjelenik a babilóniai birodalommal való kapcsolatfelvétel után írtak. Ami azt jelenti, megtaláltuk az "Éden kertjét": "Babilon függőkertjei" azok. Így teremt egy apró részlet végletes kétségeket.
